DigiSkills.pk, in collaboration with Ignite National Technology Fund and the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication under the Tech Destination Pakistan initiative, is hosting a free webinar titled SEO in the AI Era: Ranking Beyond Google on Monday, June 15, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The session will be streamed live on Facebook and is open to all participants at no cost. Interested individuals can contact DigiSkills.pk at 0304-111-1570 or visit www.digiskills.pk for further details.
The webinar will be led by Haseeb Hashmi, a Search Engine Optimisation and analytics expert, who will guide participants through how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the search landscape and what that means for digital professionals, freelancers, and businesses that depend on organic traffic for visibility and growth. The session is themed around ranking beyond Google, reflecting the reality that search engine optimisation in 2026 is no longer confined to optimising for a single platform but extends to artificial intelligence-driven search tools, social discovery platforms, and conversational interfaces that are increasingly becoming the first point of contact between users and online content.
The timing of the webinar is particularly relevant for Pakistan’s digital marketing and freelancing community, which has watched the search and content landscape shift rapidly following the integration of artificial intelligence into Google Search through AI Overviews and the rise of platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini as alternative information discovery tools. For freelancers and agency professionals who earn through search engine optimisation services for international clients, understanding how to adapt strategies for an artificial intelligence-influenced search environment has become one of the most pressing skill development priorities of 2026.
The collaboration between DigiSkills.pk, Ignite, Virtual University, and the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication reflects a structured approach to delivering timely, industry-relevant digital skills training to Pakistani professionals through accessible online formats. DigiSkills.pk has trained millions of Pakistanis across a wide range of digital disciplines since its launch, and the addition of an artificial intelligence-era search engine optimisation session to its programme reflects the platform’s responsiveness to the rapidly evolving needs of the digital economy. With the session free of cost and available via Facebook Live, participants from across Pakistan can join without any financial or geographic barrier to entry.
